Evelyn Agba Tackie | Hao Chen | Isaac Ahakwa | Samuel Atingabilli | Kobina Abaka Ansah | Raphael Baku "Integration of Economic, Educational and Socio-Cultural Capabilities for Rural Poverty Alleviation in Northern Ghana" Published in International Journal of Trend in Scientific Research and Development (ijtsrd), ISSN: 2456-6470, Volume-5 | Issue-1, December 2020, pp.528-535, URL: https://www.ijtsrd.com/papers/ijtsrd37988.pdf

In recent times, capability approach has obtained more distinction as an effective tool for alleviating poverty in both developing and developed countries. This study's main objective is to use three types of community capabilities: Economic, Educational, and Socio-cultural, in solving rural poverty in the northern part of Ghana. Data were collected from 302 respondents from the five regions in the northern part of Ghana: Northern Region, Savannah Region, North East Region, Upper East, and Upper West Region through an online survey. However, 280 responses were used in the analysis due to partial responses and missing figures. The data collected were analyzed using partial least squared based on Structural Equation Modeling (SEM). The findings indicated that economic capability has the greatest influence on rural poverty alleviation and was statistically significant at p< 0.05. This finding provides useful insights and suggestions for Ghana's policymakers to implement more sustainable economic policies to boost the local economy/business sector. The result can serve as a justifiable tool for reducing poverty in rural communities.
